Michael A. De Leon is a graphic designer by day, but wears many hats in his off time. In 2004, after several years of covering the Spurs, he started Project Spurs, a Spurs team fansite as an outlet to provide content to Spurs fans, while continuing to write for himself and learning the ins and outs of online publishing and web design. He has since built a writing team and started a popular weekly Spurs podcast called the Spurscast.

Joseph learning on the fly

Being just 19 years old and only having experienced one season in college, San Antonio Spurs’ Cory Joseph knows that he is a major part of how far the Canadian national basketball team will go in the 2011 FIBA Americas tournament and beyond.

Joseph has struggled shooting in his first two exhibition games with Canada but has shown his defensive and speed skills which may have been major factors for the Spurs drafting him in the first round of the NBA draft back in June.

Joseph says adapting to the international game is the main key right now.
